• Installed with the proper amount of refrigerant

Should You Install a New Furnace in Plano?

If you’re not sure whether you need a new furnace, you’re not alone. It can be confusing, especially if you inherited it when you moved into a new Texas home. If you know your furnace is at least 10-15 years old, it’s worth it to have a professional come out and inspect it.

Older furnaces probably don’t have as high fuel efficiency as newer ones, because standards set by the Department of Energy have changed. One of the biggest reasons we see people install new furnaces is that it saves them money on their heating bills in the long run. It’s likely that a new furnace will automatically have a higher fuel efficiency than an older one.

When Should I Get My Furnace Replaced in Dallas?

Typically, you should replace your furnace every 15-20 years or when it exhibits any of the following signs:

• Numerous repairs are needed every season. If you need more than two repairs in any season, there is no question you need a furnace replacement. Even if you’ve had repairs any time in the last two years, you should consider an upgrade or new furnace installation.
• Your heating bills are going up. Despite fuel costs steadily rising year over year, your heating bills shouldn’t creep up that much. If you notice a large increase, you need to get a new furnace.
• Your gas furnace flame is always yellow. If it never turns blue, even after cleaning, then you need to call a professional to have a look.
• You notice a reduction in air quality. If you or your family have noticed a decline in air quality in your Plano area home, it could very well be your furnace. When your family’s health is at stake, it’s always best to play it safe and get a new furnace installed.
